I'm assuming It's totally fine to use the higher 1600V to substitute the .0039 1000V?
Thanks for the links!!

Yes, with capacitors always remember equal or larger working voltage is fine, or better in some cases. Your case for instance; the engineers called for a 1Kv cap and you pop in the 1.6K. Obviously the larger value caps are going to be more rugged and possibly hold out a bit better. On the down side, doing this across the board of all of your replacements would be non cost efficient.
As well you can go larger on the capacitance value, but you don't want to change that a whole lot. Much depends on the circuit really. The main thing is NEVER go lower with your values.
